    Do a Latin course if you can. It's an illuminating look at just how much scientific terminology derives from it. ;)

    geography- boring shit.
    linguistics- who cares
    philosophy- hard shit, fuck no.
    sociology- interesting course. yes.
    psych- as above, but better. yes.

    Did you take all of the courses, Chowzzer?

    I've taken all except for Sociology. I would suggest taking whatever one you are most interested in... but be sure to find out about the prof too as a crappy lecture can ruin an otherwise good course!

    Make sure you avoid Pankratz for Ling 100 or 110!

    Geography probably is boring.
    Your view on Linguistics conveys ethnocentrism, does it not?
    Philosophy isn't that hard
    Between Sociology and Psychology, I would go with Sociology. It's simply more interesting and applicable to more social sciences than is Psychology. This is because Psychology is more of a science than an art.
